"Linus Torvalds's Greatest
Hack"

In fact, I think Linus's [= Linus Torvalds'] cleverest and most
consequential hack was not the construction of the Linux kernel
itself, but rather his invention of the Linux development model.
When I expressed this opinion in his presence once, he smiled and
quietly repeated something he has often said: "I'm basically a very
lazy person who likes to get credit for things other people
actually do." Lazy like a fox. Or, as Robert Heinlein famously
wrote of one of his characters, too lazy to fail.
